About Me

I am just an ordinary woman...I live in a modern world with a passion for the old. I would rather wear denim, than a fancy dress...have a rusty granite pan, instead of fine china...stand in awe of an old log cabin, than be invited to a mansion. Give me an old rusty bucket... an old wooden box...an old tattered quilt and my heart is full. My family thinks I am a little off...but my friends who know me, share my passion as well.....I am so blessed!
